Rod Brown and Julius Lester bring history to life in this
profoundly moving exploration of the slave experience. From the
Middle Passage to the auction block, from the whipping post to the
fight for freedom, this book presents not just historical facts,
but the raw emotions of the people who lived them.

Seventeen-year-old Nicole dreams of spending the rest of her life
with her boyfriend Nate. So when she finds herself on her way to
Paris to study abroad without him, she’s less than thrilled.
Paris is filled with cars that move at the speed of light, edible
snails, and a language that Nicole can’t speak or read.

Elena is lost in the shuffle between her three overachieving
siblings. But now that she’s on her own for a whole semester,
she intends to keep the spotlight on herself—and Spain is
just the place to do it. Once she starts living it up in tapas
bars, lying out on the beach (even though it’s November), and
having a nice, long siesta smack-dab in the middle of every day,
Elena finds that Spain is everything she hoped it would be.

When a BIG, lovable, does-it-her-way dog wiggles her way into the
heart of a loudmouth pipsqueak of a boy, wonderful things happen
that help him become a bigger, better person. With its diverse
cast, authentic narrator, and perfect blend of spot-on middle-grade
humor, drama, and wisdom, this powerful debut is relatable, funny,
bittersweet, and full of heart.

Among the towering fir trees of the Pacific Northwest, a
famously elusive creature is in serious trouble.

All Elliot wants is a nice, normal day at school. All Uchenna wants
is an adventure. Guess whose wish comes true.

Professor Fauna whisks the kids—and Jersey, of
course—off to the Muckleshoot territory in Washington, where
film crews have suddenly descended en masse to expose Bigfoot to
the world, and the Schmoke logging company is bringing in some
awfully large machinery.
